198 RIDERS AT THE START

All 198 riders have signed in. This is the first time in the history of the Tour de France that no abandon was recorded in the first six stages.

Astana:

 

Ok so Nibali is now 14 minutes down on GC. He's put himself well out of contention and so he can go off on a flyer without worrying about the other teams chasing him down.

 

Will we see Astana play the Nibali leapfrog card today? That downhill is perfect for a guy like him, one of the best descenders in the world. If he can get ahead early, then Aru attack near the top, bridge across to Nibali's back wheel and hitch a ride to the bottom....

Maybe the French wouldnt let him go for "blood tests" like he did at the Giro.

12 riders in the lead at km 1.5, including Mark Cavendish, Peter Sagan and Rui Costa.

Cav going for points?

He obviously would love another green jersey in Paris but I don't think he can be in the breaks like Sagan was last year.
